Teachers’ Lounge Food Drink: Experience New American Cuisine in Denver!

Absolutely loved this brunch spot. We had the mimosas, a martini, and the chicken & waffles Benedict; everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. The flavors were on point, and the portions were great. The service was top notch from start to finish, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We’ll definitely be back again in the future!

The atmosphere is great, with live music on Fridays and trivia nights on Thursdays, which makes it feel fun and dynamic. Such a vibe The space is absolutely beautiful spacious, thoughtfully designed, and even actual classrooms have been converted to mini conference rooms, which makes it perfect for everything from a casual night out to hosting something more intentional. Drinks were terrific! Beautifully put together and so flavorful We ordered appetizers and drinks, and everything was delicious. Honestly, just seeing the hardy generous portioned plates coming out to the tables next to us had me planning my next visit. I can’t wait to go back and try more from the menu. Parking was easy when I arrived but now I know why...don't park across from the convention center unless you're ready to dish out $30 bucks for a car wash There's Valet and a parking lot available up front. Staff was kind, friendly, and upbeat the entire time. Highly recommend this place is definitely worth checking out!

We had a work event take plate at the Slate hotel and we were treated to a wonderful lunch at the Teacher’s Lounge. The ambience is great, and it was perfectly quiet to hold conversations, even when it is at the hotel lobby. We tried their appetizers, including the goat cheese ball, the elote fries, the farmers market hummus and bison meatloaf bites. They were all very tasty and varied. For the mains, each of us chose a salad base to which we added protein toppings we order for the table. The burrata and basil salad tasted great with both the seared salmon and the flatiron steak, which was my favorite. For dessert, we tried the tempura PB&J - which I’ll confess I wasn’t too interested in, until I bit into it. The flavors were a hit, plus the crunch in the tempura and the sweetness in the marshmallow went perfect together. Very happy with our choices.

I'm always wary of hotel restaurants because they are so variable. Was a bit surprised that our foodie friend wanted to come here. On first glance of the menu immediately saw a couple of things I wanted to eat - lucky for me our group of five decided to share! Highly recommend the steak, fish, risotto, and pear salad - these were all well excuted and delicious. Of these the black garlic risotto was particularly interesting - it has a sweet and allium taste to it that reminded me of French onion soup. I mean who could go wrong wtih French onion soup risotto. Drinks including mocktails were also great. In my opinion, I would consider skipping the loaded fries and croquettes (unless these apps are specifically your jam)- they were just okay. If you really want fries - get the steak because that came with a really delicious aioli dipping sauce.

One of the better meals I’ve had in recent memory. Service was excellent, food was very well done. To start I had the Caesar salad with salmon on top. It was big enough for a full meal, and was delicious. Also had the steak frites, steak was good and the fries were some of the best I’ve had in awhile. My only suggestion for improvement would be to put the chimichurri on the side so it doesn’t overpower the natural flavor of the steak. As others have mentioned, prices were a little high. Overall, a very nice experience if you feel like treating yourself or someone else.

For my short trip to Denver, this was the BEST place we ate. First the sat our large party of 10 with no issues. The server was fantastic, the drinks and food delicious in the atmosphere… Amazing. This restaurant is located in the hotel The Slate. Which is in an old school brick building. It has the perfect mix between the historical place, same basic structure brick work and then also a modern flare that feels very warm and inviting. Highly recommend!

Fun fact, the slate hotel used to be Emily Griffith opportunity school. It was so fun to visit as a teacher. The lounge is INSIDE the slate hotel. Service was phenomenal. Very kind waiter! We were on a time crunch, we wanted to order apps and head back for the Nutcracker. The waiter understood, helped us get our order as quickly as possible, and helped us to pay ahead of time so we can save time! He also took great photos of us! I got the burrata and toast. The fig mostarda is the best part! I also ordered the purple mirage. It was rum, pineapple, coconut cream, all spice, ube, and lime. It was tropical, but not overwhelmingly sweet or gross.

We made a reservation here for brunch. We didn't really need the reservation since it ended up not being that busy. Our group enjoyed a variety of options both breakfast and lunch type foods. I had a delicious Caesar salad! We were in the area for a teaching conference so we loved the theme!
